Lucy

Walking out of the train I notice there aren't that many people here in the Mangolia Station. It took about three hours to get here and man, I'm tired. Oh and I'm hungry. Starving actually; haven't eaten since breakfast with my father and I didn't each much then.

Looking around the building I couldn't find a certain blonde. I decided to walk around a bit, maybe grab a map and some brochures.

"Excuse me," I feel a tap on my shoulder. Turning around I see a gorgeous blue eyed lady with long platinum hair that curls at the ends with her bangs are tied up. She's wearing a sleeveless, ankle-length maroon dress with a pleated skirt. The chest is adorned by a large, pink bow.

"Do you happen to be Luciana Heartfilia?" She asks, slightly tilting her head to the side. I nodded, raising an eyebrow.

"Your brother is waiting for you outside. He sent me to get you because we couldn't find a parking spot," she giggled softly before giving me a breath-taking smile. I automatically smile back. We started exiting the station together.

"How do you know Laxus?" I asked, trying to start a conversation.

"Let's just say we are very good friends. I'll just have him explain the rest," she paused, as if she noticed something. "Oh god, I forgot to introduce myself. I'm Mirajane Strauss, but you can just call me Mira!" She beamed.

"And you can just call me Lucy!" I said, enthusiastically. Right when we walked out of the automatic doors, I see a silver Honda Accord LX and a blonde spiky-haired man sitting behind the wheel, staring at his phone. Almost immediately he looked up at us, and gave a toothy grin. Oh how much I missed that grin. As Laxus was getting out of the car, Mira grabbed my bags and placed them in the trunk. I ran towards my brother, engulfing him in a hug.

"It's been so long Laxus!"

"Yeah, sorry for not visiting you in the past few years," he said, sheepishly. Mira was standing by the car, giving us a kind smile.

"Lucy, are you hungry? Maybe we can stop by a cafe?" Mira offered. Almost immediately my stomach growled. Laxus and Mira laughed while I slightly blushed from embarrassment.

"I'll take that as a yes. Plus I have some things I want to talk to you about," Laxus said after his laughter died down.

The drive to the cafe didn't take too long. Thank god because I was getting so hungry I was close to eating my shirt.

We pulled up into the parking lot, choosing a spot near the front.

'Strauss Cafe' read a large purple and white sign that was hanging above the entrance. I can smell the delicious pastries from outside and my mouth is already watering. The cafe looked pretty small from outside. It was a nice light purple building with semi-large windows that was covered by white curtains from the inside. Bushes and flowers were growing on the perimeter of the cafe. The inside wasn't that much different. There were a few booths by the windows and circular tables in the middle. This placed had an atmosphere that was very welcoming and friendly.

"Ever! Table for three please!" Mira called and right away a beautiful lady with long, curly light brown hair and dark brown eyes walked out, holding a little notepad. She was wearing a green dress with a pattern like vines on it and dark flats. Her face held a somewhat serious expression while seating us. Before she gave us our menus she took a good look at me.
